Zastava Yugo

Mm

... have a bigger barrier to get that, you know, name recognition when someone go, "Oh, okay, I can buy that." Like because for them, you know, it's is that any better than, you know, a Yugo or a Lada basically in their head, like if we're going back to sort of when we were younger men.

You know, we've got to look at sort of, you know, what's the point of getting these e-cars on the road? Because obviously it's not just a case of getting more electric cars on the road, it's getting people to rethink how they get places.

Like without public transport improving substantially outside of Dublin, I think we're still a long way away from hitting the sustainability goals when it comes to what the government wants on the road.

[laughs] No, the land is still exactly where it was, but the country itself split apart into six completely different nations.

Today, we are exploring the amazing, beautiful, and sometimes sad story of Yugoslavia.

Okay, so where exactly was Yugoslavia?

It was in Southeast Europe, right across the sparkling Adriatic Sea from Italy.

The name Yugoslavia literally translates to Land of the South Slavs.

When did it become a country?

It was first formed in 1918, right after the First World War.

... are super sick, crazy expensive.

Or I've always wanted to own a Yugo, always wanted a Yugo.

I thought those things are, are just the funniest little cars, [laughs] and I've always wanted one.

And I, you never see 'em.

Nobody ever has any Yugos.

Bring 'em back.

They rotted out.

I think, I think-

I can't imagine anything more unpleasant, but it is, uh, still a popular tourist attraction to take a motor tour of Berlin in a Trabant.

You also did not mention the Zastava Yugo.

Um, and I saw a Yugo on the street the other day, though it was-

Did you?

If you've ever

seen Die Hard with a Vengeance, you know all about the three-cylinder Yugos because they use a gold brick to break the window.

Yeah.

They drive in trying to catch the dudes in the Mercedes, and John McClane's like, this piece of shit got any more? He's like, you go, man.
